Travel to Bangkok

Landing in Bangkok soon? Here's what to know before you go.

From currency and modern mass transit to glittering golden temples, bustling street food stalls, river-boat highways, and vibrant night markets, we've got the essentials covered for your trip to the heart of Thailand.

Language & Currency

Official language Thai Thai is official. English is widely understood in tourist centers, major shopping malls, and hotels. Simple terms like "Sawatdee" (hello) and "Khop khun" (thank you) are highly appreciated
Payments Thai Baht (THB) While hotels and malls accept cards, cash is absolutely king in Bangkok for street food stalls, local canal boats, traditional markets, and tuk-tuk rides

Getting Around

Fastest in Traffic BTS Skytrain & MRT Subway Bangkok's roads are notoriously congested. The elevated BTS Skytrain and underground MRT subway are clean, air-conditioned, incredibly efficient, and bypass gridlock completely
Also popular Chao Phraya Boats & Grab Hop on the public Chao Phraya Express Boat to access riverside temples cheaply. For cars or motorbikes, ride-hailing apps like Grab or Bolt are highly active and safe

Top Attractions

The Grand Palace A spectacular, sprawling complex of gilded halls and spires that served as the official royal residence. It houses Wat Phra Kaew, home of the sacred Emerald Buddha
Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn) An iconic, porcelain-encrusted pagoda (prang) rising dramatically on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River, glowing majestically at sunrise and sunset
Wat Pho (Reclining Buddha) Located right next to the Grand Palace, this temple is famous for its colossal, 46-meter-long gold-plated Reclining Buddha and its status as a historic center for traditional Thai massage

Events & Street Foods

April 13 – 15 Songkran (Thai New Year) The world's biggest water fight! Locals and travelers splash water across the city to wash away bad luck. Khao San Road and Silom are the ultimate epicenters
Temple Rule Respect the Dress Code When visiting temples, shoulders and knees must be completely covered. For the Grand Palace, tight clothing or ripped jeans are also forbidden; bring a sarong or light cover-up
Year-Round Pad Thai, Tom Yum & Mango Sticky Rice Feast on sweet, savory Pad Thai noodles, slurp hot, sour Tom Yum Goong soup, and end with sweet, coconut-infused mango sticky rice from street vendors
